Now for this stupid right eye problem the operation will be on Easter Tuesday. It is the same eye as before as there was a major problem with the healing process. This is the first time I am cursing the fact that I heal very fast in fact too fast, causing scar tissue to form under the surface of the eye, it was this that has caused all the problems. There are at least 5 stitches still there as they could not be removed by laser (eye surface too tough) one was cut out that was bad enough.

Before the first operation the pressure was 29 next mornings it was 4 and has been steadily climbing last week it was 32. I am reasonably good reading my pressures now after 25+ years you get a very tired eye and it also feels very heavy. I have a mix of 7 eye drops from once to four times a day, some both eyes and others the right eye also tablets At the moment I have head, brow, and cheekbone aches. The new eye drops and tablets are having some very weird effects from total tiredness, being dizzy, sick stomach, and tingling fingers if I put my hands into hot water.
When all this is over they have to do the other eye.

We have a two yld boy living in our state who has had his both eyes removed to stop the spread of cancer this bring you back to reality extremely fast. I am used to seeing huge scars after operations at the gym and it is not new to me but this is totally different it sends shivers all through me thinking about this young boy.

Still no gym or swimming and my old body is letting me know all about it the professor said one month then I can go swimming. If possible I want to put off the left eye operation for a few months at least but that pressure is raising as well last test 24 and rising. I don’t think I will have much chance of putting him off for a short time.

If I am lucky I should be able to read a computer screen in about 7-10 days going from past experiences. I hope I have not left any unanswered questions if so I will catch up as soon as possible. Any red on black will have to wait a lot longer even at the moment it is basically impossible to read.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
